Im making the ability "Black Arrow" which works like "Searing Arrow" except that it returns life back to you. For example: Level 1 - Adds 10 bonus damage and heals you for 10 hp every shot that you make. Hope you understand. because i dont know how to make this ability. I hope you do.

trigger it.
make the ability of searing arrows, and in the trigger, add life steal to it, except make it not by percent, but by arithmatic to 10 and the next ranks. SOrry that i cant show it, im not even sure it tat works. :D

Code: 
Events
    Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
Conditions
    (Ability being cast) Equal to Searing Arrows
Actions
    Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Life of (Triggering unit)) + 10.00)
For the set life, use Unit - Set life (to Value) and as a arithmetic set it to Life of trig unit and the other value to 10.

That might work but i want the hero to gain life when the arrow hits the target, not when its fired off. I bet that far more complicated :p

Ever used "Trigger - Add Event to trigger<gen>" ?

u should use it
use:
Unit - unit X takes damage

Then you check with conditions if unit has buff or not. If yes, add 10% of the damage to the damage source. ( Unit )

Well, the best you could do is to use Wait for condition. This will make the ability non-MUI/MPI. You can also use periodic trigger to make it MPI, but I think it is not feasible.

Code: 
Events
    Unit - A unit is attacked
Conditions
    Level of YourAbility more than 0
Actions
    Set YourUnit = (Attacking unit)
    Wait until triggering unit has YourAbility buff equal to true
    Unit - Set life of YourUnit to ((Life of YourUnit) + 10.00)

Edit: You could also use the abovementioned method. But in my opinion, it's also not feasible as you need to add every single unit that enters the map into the damage taken trigger. But it's better than periodic trigger I think :).

YOUR creating so many leaks with one GUI trigger!
Wait actions should NOT wait for an condition... <.<.<.<.<.<.<

Sorry this isn't particularly useful but if you get it working, the action:

Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Life of (Triggering unit)) + (10.00 x (Real((Level of Searing Arrows for (Triggering unit))))))

Would be better so that the amount healed scales with the level of the ability. Sorry I can't be more helpful than that since I have no idea.

There is? o_O

>Wait actions should NOT wait for an condition...
I don't really understand?

Anyway, maybe using your method could be the best to make it MUI.

TheDamien you're wrong.
Many waits will cause mass-leaks on map. Yes single leak not but this seems to be a mass lagg because it can trigger as much as it can. (After 100 attacks of non buff having this will wait 100X times each second)

And I agree with last, you're good!

except things can happen like the target blinks, the arrow misses, it gets blocked, evaded, target dies before the arrow lands, etc. so id suggest unit takes damage.. it dosent make as much lag as you would imagine, and you only need to add the units that were attacked by the user of this ability instead of all of them

Waits are sloppy, but they don't leak.

Unless the units missile speed is REALLY slow, i gaurentee you wont even notice the gap. just make a special effect the healing one when it casts it and noone will notice. Plus the arrow will 99% of the time hit the target, i don't see what your worried about. And arrow spells can't be casted on friendly units either just incase that was a problem.

Off topic - 13lade619, Rep is earned, but first it must be given, hardly true, the person giving the rep must believe that the rep has been earned before they give it. You don't earn rep after you get it.

Hmm i do really got alot of heroes and items which gives a chanse that the missile hit. Also i fell stupid but i still doesnt know how i should make if i do the event: a unit takes damage?

Also i got another question for my map, another ability named Conjure Illusion. Its simple, when you click the ability you get an illusion of yourself. So ive based a spell of channel, and when the spell is cast, the trigger creates a dummy unit which casts the ability "Item WAnd of Illusion". Still it doesnt work. Any idea why?

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
